          Oh come on mr. Be nice. I climb at Rockface and enjoy it. If somebody doesn’t talk to me, that’s ok, they probably don’t like me. No problem.

          Zen, Rockface are attempting to organise a climbers without partners night for Fridays. Might be worth a look.

          Cheers.

            I’m going to have to agree with Mr no name. Rockface blows. The routes are boring and unimaginative.

            Give Urban Ascent or The Hangout the business they deserve.

              What do you mean Rockface climbs are unimaginative? I have been to all three Gyms in my short time in Perth and there are some great routes at Rockface. There are quite a few that incorporate some traverses, something that is rare in a gym.

              Seriously, badmouthing Rockface doesn’t help anyone, especially not encouraging new climbers to the sport.

                Forgot to mention, I climb at Rockface most Wed nights with the UWA Outdoor Club. We always welcome new people to climb with us, look for me in an orange T-shirt.

                    its a bit like asking which Macdonalds makes the best cheeseburger really, gyms are gyms … rockface is fine, has decent bouldering and room to move

                    sure its dirty, vile and stinks .. but so does northbridge. personally i find UA least appealing, maybe its the type of oil they use….

                            Hi Zen

                            I climb at Rockface and can definately say as a newer climber the place is very welcoming. Met some great people there who have given me great advice for climbing. I’m always looking for climbing buddies so send an email my way and we’ll organise something [email protected]. I tend to go twice/three times a week in evenings. (tues/thurs/sund)
